Description:
One of five English delft circular plates decorated in blue, orange, yellow, green, and purple manganese powdered ground. The London attribution is based on the fine incised/scratched decoration on the rim and similar rim fragments excavated by Frank Garner in Lambeth. The well is decorated with a garden scene of a green and red bird with a feathered crown sitting on a large red flower, surrounded by scrolling flowers and foliage in red, green, blue, and yellow. The rim and curvature are covered with an uneven manganese ground; the rim is has four groups of yellow sgraffito, stylized floral sprigs alternating with insects. The rim edge is painted yellow; the foot rim is pronounced. See HD 55.062 for a similar plate.
